Loved our stay! Staff were very friendly, especially beach wait staff. Clean rooms with a beautiful view of the beach. Can get kind of loud on lower floors but didn’t go too late and we were there on a Saturday. Very fun time!

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Myers Near JetBlue Park
This hotel was lovely. The room & pictures were as described on the site, easy check-in, easy checkout. The one thing I was concerned about and I meant to report it to the staff but I forgot. The elliptical has screws missing on the handles.
